Yilik War

In 1668 CT, the coordinator of the Yilik Festival, Shiad naqī Tīblo died suddenly less than 20 days before the yilik would be harvested. Shaid's assistant dutifully sent word to each of the capitals that while the coordinator had died, the festivities should continue as planned. Apparently, his wording was less than ideal.
Eight days after the announcement of Shiad's death, forces from each of the Principalities started to show up. Within two days, more than 300 troops, representing all eight of the Principalities, had showed up outside of Ti'ilik Votoshī, where the yilik trees are grown. They were all ostensibly there to protect the harvest and ensure its safe arrival in the capital cities.
While there was always a small honor guard, there was never any trouble. Unfortunately, that was not the case this time. This time, eight contingencies of soldiers couldn't agree on what should be done. The leaders of each of the groups met. They met on four consecutive days. On the fourth day, they yelled. A fist fight had to be broken up. Half the leaders stormed off to their troops as the sun was setting.
The next morning, the troops from Bikal attacked the Ptau camp. Tinaurīr and Rilīsh troops tried to intervene. A temporary cessation was negoationed, but soon the intervening troops were attacked, as well. As other four camps got involved, three hours into the hostilities, a squad of 10 Dīqīyal from Īyonī. Fortunately, the assistant had sent word when the military groups started "negotiating".
Within 20 minutes of their arrival the 10 guards had disabled the 275 troops that had still been fighting.
The commander of the guards, Voshan naqī Shanai, delivered a stern warning from Shania vin Qau that fighting over one of the most time honored celebrations of the Kaushan would not be tolerated. They were to all go home. The honor guard would this year consist of Dīdnalash from Īyonī, with no assistance from any of the Principalities.
As a result of this day, there has never since been a fight over the delivery of yilik fruit for the Yilik Festival. Also, due the embarassment of nearly 300 soldiers at the hands of just 10 of Voshan's guard, the palace guard of Īyonī earned their reputation as the most capable of all Kaushan warriors. They also gained the nickname of Voshan Dīdnalash, which became official on the passing of Voshan.
